Yesterday, I read "Beware the Cat". It is one of the uhh, weirdest things I have ever read. But it introduced me to a really fascinating tale of British folklore.
A traveller overhears that a man with a strange name has died. He returns home and he tells his wife the story. Their cat, overhearing, says "then I am king of the cats", and leaves, and is never seen again. As I said, weird. But also funny.
